MicroPol is a compact, electronically controlled, precise mechanical specimen grinder/polisher designed for planar grinding, thinning and polishing of specimens in the fields of nanotechnology, semiconductors and materials science.

General

MicroPol polishes by the action of an arm moving the specimen in a random geometric pattern, pressing it to the bottom of a bowl containing suitable abrasive material. The abrasive material can be grinding paper, or suspension of polishing compound deposited on polishing cloth.

Features

• Small size (251 × 210 × 181 mm3)
• Easy-to-use
• Many application possibilities
• Rugged, corrosion-proof construction
• Variable speed control for precision polishing
• Quick change bayonet mount bowls
• Timer for automatic operation

Application

The polisher is an efficient tool in:

• mechanical thinning and polishing of light microscopic and transmission electron microscopic samples prior to ion beam thinning. For this purpose four types of specimen holder have been designed. All are convenient for mounting samples 3 mm or less in diameter .
• mineralogy, metallurgy, materials science.
